I gigged my newly modded #3 Galaxie this past w/e. Went totally "Commando" (no attenuator).
With both volumes around 12:00, MV 9:30, playing a Schecter PT Custom(a Duncan humbucker/coil tapped/carved top T-style, with LP scale length(24.75")), thru a small open back 2x12 w/50 watt Weber AlNiCo blue/silver speeks(thx Paul T).........it was truely a beautiful thing.
MUCH more control when switching channels. Almost no perceptible increase in volume(unless I want it), but ooohhhh, the "FAT". As I stated in another thread, I really used the presence knob to liven things up between single/hum guitars.
With the MV mod in place, I just back off the bass/treble a couple of clicks (since they have such a profound affect on the gain structure of this amp), increase where I set the volumes, and can use the treble control to the same end.
No more trying to find a "happy medium", or quickly dialing down the guitar vol when switching channels to get the goods w/out taking someone's head off.
If the previous scenario, sounds like what you've been doing to even the two channels out.............get the mod. You won't regret it.
I don't, and I'm about as hard-headed as they come.

We need one of those gif things that say, "this topic is useless without recordings".
Seriously would like to hear that bad Gal through the blue/silver too.
You sound happy with it, my friend. And that is all that is important. Good news.

Workin' on it rite now, man..........between shots of The McCallan. Then we should be getting some real smooth music, with maybe a little bit of smoke in it. ;D Bring it on.

Been driving OTR 6 days a week. Slow going on the recording, but.....making progress.
Got a gig next w/e w/some MONster players. It's an annual thang.
Last year, I showed up w/a LP + cord, and used what they gave me. A PV Deuce(that 'aint happnin' again). Gonna take the newly modded Galaxie/Weber 2x12 rig. One of the other guitarists just scored a '99 2x10 Ghia. He played mine(Ghia) @ my crib one day, about 6 months ago, and got wood.
Anyway....making progress on the toneage. Should be ready in a cpl weeks. Stay tuned.
